Construction Project Scheduling Specialist – Airports & Infrastructure
ConnicoConstruction Project Scheduling Specialist – Airports & Infrastructure Location: Hybrid office locations include Hebron, KY / Cincinnati area and Mt. Juliet, TN / Nashville area. (T/W/TH in-office). Fully remote opportunity for the right candidate; must reside full-time in the U.S. Salary Range : $110,000 - $135,000 depending on experience. Bonus opportunities. Turn construction expertise into schedules that shape major projects Join a team delivering complex airport, energy, and infrastructure projects across the country, where your construction judgment and scheduling expertise directly influence how major programs are planned, phased, sequenced, and delivered. Company Overview Connico is a leading national construction consultancy known for its extraordinary team and commitment to superior client service. Founded in 1990, we offer highly specialized consulting services unique to the architecture, engineering, and construction industries. As experts in aviation and transportation, we assist owners, architects, engineers, and planners with cost estimating, scheduling, planning, and project management. The Opportunity As a Scheduling Project Specialist, you independently develop and analyze construction schedules for complex infrastructure projects while serving as a technical resource to clients, project teams, and developing schedulers. You will translate design information, construction methodology, field conditions, phasing requirements, quantities, and project constraints into logical, defensible schedules that support real project decisions. Most candidates will come from professional construction scheduling backgrounds. We are also interested in experienced construction professionals whose scheduling expertise developed in the field - project engineers, superintendents, construction managers, civil engineers, inspectors, preconstruction professionals, or similar roles where they independently planned, scheduled, and sequenced complex construction work. Regardless of title, this role requires significant scheduling experience. We're looking for someone who understands construction beyond the software: someone who can review plans, visualize how the work will be built, recognize when the sequence doesn't make sense, and explain the schedule clearly to a client or project team. What You'll Do Schedule development and execution Independently develop detailed construction schedules based on project scope, design documents, construction methodology, site conditions, phasing requirements, procurement, production information, and client milestones. Develop work breakdown structures, activities, durations, relationships, sequencing logic, milestones, constraints, and schedule assumptions. Build schedules appropriate to planning, design, preconstruction, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning, turnover, and closeout. Apply practical construction knowledge to identify realistic sequencing, access, logistics, production, trade interfaces, procurement constraints, material availability, and constructability considerations. Develop and evaluate alternative phasing and sequencing strategies as project requirements or field conditions change. Incorporate quantities, production rates, cost, resource, procurement, and other available project information into schedules. Develop schedules at varying levels of detail based on project phase, available information, and client needs. Analysis and technical problem solving Analyze critical path, float, schedule variances, phasing conflicts, constraints, and potential delays. Identify missing scope, logic issues, unrealistic assumptions, sequencing conflicts, and other conditions that may affect project delivery. Develop practical mitigation strategies and schedule recovery recommendations based on construction knowledge and schedule analysis. Perform or support Time Impact Analysis, delay analysis, schedule risk analysis, and change-impact evaluation. Review contractor- and sta…
